Also making a movie in Hindi and releasing it both are different factors as it holds various variables, and moreover launching a fresh face is also challenging, hence I had left it on the director Hardik Gajjar to decide".

The second reason is the love that was showered on me through Scam, there are set of audience now hoping to see me in a different role so I want to showcase  them something that is different and  they will enjoy."
